Research

Our research activities are conducted in a large number of projects, both very application oriented and very theoretical, both large and small, both long-running and short-lived. Our largest application field is, since a long time, biomedicine, both analysis of microscopic images of everything from proteins to tissue samples and analysis of whole organs or the whole body. There are also other applications, especially the analysis of old, handwritten documents and forest industry applications. As this is the last year SLU will be involved in CBA, the latter will naturally end in their present form, but some may continue in new constellations. The tools we use are general image analysis tools, graphical tools for visualisation and haptic tools. In addition to developing or inventing the tools we need for our applications, we also do theoretical research in discrete geometry and mathematical morphology, both in two and three dimensions.

In Section 5.6 we have collected all our research partners, international and national, with whom we had active co-operation in the form of either a joint project or a joint publication, during the year.
